TALKING CORN.

While everybody has acknowledged
the adaptability of this climate and the
soil Of this section as being particularly
fitted for the successful cultivation of
corn, there never was Il time in the past
when the matter received the attention
it is being honored with to-day. Sea-
son after season passed by, and the ag-
ricultilrst gathered in wealth from
his fields of corn, but the average citl-
zen, busy with the cares of another line
Of business, gave little thought of the
cereal that is the most important pro-
duct of this section. People have cas-
ually admired the tasseled fields of corn,
as a matter of course. but the thoughts
of many did not go far enough back to
figure us Il basis of prosperity these
vary fields. For years the corn crop of
this section has been great source of
wealth, not only to this city, but to the
farmers. The latter have been shrewd
enough to see money in corn worked

lndustriously following that which
pays them best, the Importance of the
subject was not considered as it de-
served.
The first important occurrence to
bring into prominence the value of
corn rs a source of general wealth, was
the location in this city of the new
packing houses. People then began
asking why these institutions came,
why here instead of at other places, and
kindred questions that usually follow
such momentous institutions. The fact
at the start asserted itself that the
packing houses came here to kill and
pack hogs. But what fatted the hog
for the packing house? The ansM er.
simple and plain. threw new light on
thesubject and resources OF this section.
The matter become important at once,

PRJCTICAL PUBLIC SPIRIT.

For several years an organization has been
maintained in Albany known as "the Commit
tee of Thirteen" 1t is non-partisan. 1t Is
composed Of wcll-knOwn citizens Of that city
who enjoy the general confidence 1t pays its
own expenses. 1t has for It's object the con-
servaton of municipal prosperity by vigilant
supervision of municipal affairs The Commit
tce of Thirteen exposes illegal or excessive de-
mands upon the city treasury; it wages war
fare against contractors who fail to do rs they
agreed to do it insists that the provisions OF
the charter shall be lived up to it devscs ways
and means for the reduction Of the department
expenses 4; it brings its influence to bear for or
against all local bills which arc introduced in
tho Legislature. In short, the Committee OF
Thirteen may he defined to be public spirit
teaching by example.
The annual report Of the committee for 1856,
lately issued, abounds in proofs of the large
service which this body is rendering the tax
payers of Albany. The tax-ratc has fallen TO
81 s4 the lowest rate in twenty years. The
general bonded debt, which for twelve years
prior 10 1854 increased on an average over
$4,000 n year, has been reduced $4,000
during the last two years, Notwithstanding de-
crease Of $4,000 in the water debt. Fidelity
in closing up unlicensed liquor-saloons has in
creased the Excise receipts from S2l 900 10
sos. 900 The Common Council printing bills
have been reduced several thousand dollars.

alton Of last year 90 foot the bills OF this year.
Tho County Clerks Fec bill. which in 1850
was So. $50 over aud above 81 900 paid for
sorting papers after the City Hall fire. in 1856
was only 81 ,sS7. The Almshousc. which from
1879 20 1882 cost over S3s 900. was main
tanned last year for S24 900. The county debt,
upon which nothing was paid for many years
prior to 1883. is now reduced each year 10y the
payment Of $4,000 of county bonds.
There is much more in the report. but the
facts which we have grouped together from II
demonstrate the significance OF the whole. ii
is not pretended that the committee is TO be
credited with the accomplishment OF all the
reforms mentioned, but there is room 10 sus-
poet that had there been no committee in cX-
istcncc most Of them would not have been
brought about. The figures which We have
reproduced may well induce some other cities
in the State 10 regret that they have not nj
their command a body Of citizens thus intel
ligcnuy and unscllishly devoted 10 the business
which. because it is cycrybody's is too often
nobody's. OF course, all such organizations
like the rest of things human. are not at all
times blessings. Tho danger is that in their
zeal for the taxpayer they will sometimes all
unconsciously lose sight Of the fact that par
simony is not economy and that great public
improvements are worth all they cost, even
though they do come high. But Whatever the
danger from this source. ii is OF small account
in comparison with the solid gain for good
government which committee thus constituted
and conducted is capable Of securing.

THE BUSSEY BRIDGE.

Tho further investigation Is pushed, the
more certain docs it appear that the collapse
Of the Busscy Bridge which caused the Forest
Hill railroad disaster was due to structural de-
fccts in the bridge Of the most serious char
actcr. In fact, it is difficult 10 understand how
the Massachusetts Railroad Commissioners can
have been doing their whole duty so long as
no suspicion Of the danger this bridge repre-
scented occurred TO them. Is il not one Of their
functions TO see that the various railroad cor
porations make and keep their lines safca 1t
is said now that the corporation on whose road
the disaster occurred have in their employ no
competent engineer to supcrintcnd such mat
ters. But if that be true ought they not to
have been compelled TO secure tho services of
such an engineer. and should they, together
with all other railroad companies. not be com
PEELED TO have stated inspections. and 10 fur
nsh certified reports and vouchers for the
security of every bridge they usc2
The Commissioners have now, moved by the
Forest Hill slaughter. ordered all the roads
to send in full accounts Of their bridges. No
doubt the precaution is Just, but why was it not
taken years ago? What Is the use, il may he
asked Of a State Railroad Commission which
does little more than hold nqucsts upon acct
dents which ought TO lie prevented q Clearly
IL will not do to assume that corporations arc
doing their duty. They must be prompted
frequently. They must be inspected and in
vestigatcd. But the Massachusetts, Bond of
Railway Commissioners appears to have become
lcthargic of laio, and the fragrant character of
the defects in the Busscy Bridge will he re-
gardcd by many observers as rejecting scarcely
less upon the vigilance Of the Board than on
the conscicntousncss of the company that for
so many years trusted its passenger traffic to
that dangerous structure.

HIGH LICENSE IN THE SENATE

HIGH LICENSE IN The SERd
When the High-License bill was called up
for reference in the Senate yesterday. the DEM
ocrats, though they, of course, knew they could
not effect their purpose, filibustered to prevent
it from being sent to the Committee on Internal
Affairs, and did their best to to have it referred
to the Committee on Cities, where, if they could
have got it, they no doubt hoped to shelve 1t
finally. A more fatuous course could not have
been taken, for while unable to hinder the
proper reference and progress of the BILL these
members put themselves Enthusiastically on rec
ord as the champions Of intcmperance. Per-
haps, however, what they aimed at was to con-
vince their rum selling friends that they were
Trustworthy, and if so there can be no question
that they made an effective demonstration.
1t was pity, however, that they should have
rcsorted to the plan Of not voting on the Ques-
ton of reference because that opened the door
for very neat rctort upon them. Lieutenant
Governor Jones cited the precedent set by
David b. Hill, when presiding officer of the
Senate. TO the effect that the Senators who de-
cined to vote must be counted all the same.
There was no possibility Of going behind the
returns" in this instance the Democrats
had to grin and bear it, realizing that they had
been "hoist with their own pctard." An
other time when they decide to lilibustcr they
will perhaps ascertain what precedent land
whose) bears upon their contemplated action.
The Crosby bill is now in the hands of an i'm
partial committee, and will no doubt bc reported
back to the Senate without delay favoraby.
